Hi all, I have been working on a little project. I have a small Buck hatchet that had a handle on it from the company Buck and I decided to put my own handle on and of course it is Orange G-10 with white liners to
. I really like this little hatchet. For the alround smaller chopper it cuts likes crazy and stays sharp just a nice light weight hatchet. This is not for cutting down big timber it is great for making a shelter and getting fire wood for a three season type thing not for up north. I would rather have a bigger axe for that but for the smaller stuff this little hatchet works great for me. Just today Kathy and I took on another tree cutting job and while we were looking the area that needs to be cut for the landowner. We were walking the tree line and I took out my Peace maker and did some smaller branches 1" thick or less but for the branches that were 2" and a little biggr that little hatchet came out and went to work. now I was not cutting for hours at a time I probably cut 40 or so bigger branches while we walked and looked over the area. For your info a Fence is going to go up. But not all the trees are comming down. So to blaze a trail that Kathy and I will make atrail and clear it ( with chainsaws )up for the fence that will be put up. As we were getting ready to first go and look at the area the land owner asked kathy and I if we were ready to go into the timber I said yes we are we have are little shoulder packs. When I brought mine out and shoulder it he said wow you really are prepared I just a brought a bottle of water. I said yea we come a little prepared and left it at that. Actions speak louder than words normally. We were hiking in a rough area it is a canyon complex. real easy to turn an ankle trip, fall and just plain out get in trouble you could scream for all you are worth and no one is going to hear you. Well we came to some areas that were over groan pretty good, and out came my knife for some stuff but when it came to the little bigger stuff out came the Buck hatchet. I could tell when I started going first and clearing some branches out of the way for us to walk a little easyer, the land onwer was impressed. Being prepared when others are really not makes them think some. Well on to the pics this little hatchet has a handle NOW that fits me Perfect. In this pic this is the handle that was on it.
In this Pic it show it just from a different angle.
Now the pics with the new Orange handle and with it how it rides on the pouch that i carry on the same shoulder sling as my nalgene water bottle carrier.
On the Water bottle pouch I have a sheath that I sewed on there. This pouch is a Doug Ritter mk3 knife sheath that I put one of my 5" Pathfinders in and took the mk3 knife and put in with some of my other knives that sit and do nothing. LOL
Well all what do you think about the Orange handle scales and the white liners that I put on this little hatchet?

) they will be a huge success, I know I would want one! I have one of the originals that my wife found in a small hardware store that has never had an edge put on it, they feel good in the hand, the perfect size IMHO.
